Album

There are plenty of things that would probably qualify as being more punk rock than appearing on a syndicated court show, but there was still something kind of cool when – 18 years ago today – John Lydon found himself fighting a claim of lost wages and civil battery filed against him by drummer Robert Williams on Judge Judy.

The Brooklyn Brothers (Ryan O’Nan and Michael Weston) will blur the line between fiction and reality this September as they star in Brooklyn Brothers Beat The Best — a new film about the heartbreaks and joys of making music — and also release their self-titled debut album and launch their first ever tour before the film’s September premiere.

Released on ATCO, an imprint of Rhino Entertainment, BROOKLYN BROTHERS: THE ALBUM features the band’s “The Shins meet Sesame Street” sound on ten tracks and will be available nationwide on September 18.
